Laurie Spiegel has designed the latest Wire
T-shirt. Spiegel says: "I'm tossing in a very nerdy idea, the
little 'packed_structures.jpg' text image is left over from a
coding project… There are plenty of coders out there doing software
for music who might get a kick out of it."

Spiegel's design is printed in green on a navy blue
shirt, in a limited run of 100 shirts which will be shipping around
the the beginning of March. There's a close up of the code above,
and the shirts are priced at £20 (including postage) with a £2
discount for subscribers.

On the cover: Holly Herndon – the US sound artist and laptop auteur spreads the faith of the liberating potential of technology. A Primer on the maverick composer Moondog, Daniel Spicer on Brighton's outsider poets and musicians, Lightning Bolt take The Wire's Invisible Jukebox test, Isnaj Dui, Radiophrenia, Jlin and much more. Plus: our latest 20 track CD, free to all readers with The Wire.
